The Garage of Silicon Valley

Not many places around here to take a vintage bike. This was one of them. Andrei & John were very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating & fair in their pricing. They worked on my bike several times. The last I spoke to them was in the fall & they said they had long-term projects to carry them over until the spring riding season. Well, it's getting to that time & I need some more work done so I went by there last week. Unfortunately, things apparently did not go as planned because the place was locked up with a For Rent sign on the door. Google says they are temporarily closed. Sadly, I think it's permanent. I really hope I'm wrong & Andrei opens up somewhere else. Guys like him are too few & far between. :-(

I had great interactions with garage. They are honest and knowledgeable, focused on long term customer relationships and telling you what your bike really needs and not making a quick buck. the owners are riders that are well known and active in the bay area rider community and have great reputations. if you need a shop with people you can trust this is it. they work on all types of bikes, but have an expertise and willingness to work on older bikes... something that takes extra skill and is hard to find. andrei, the resident tech, can fix issues that other shops weren't able to. very happy i found this place.

Long pending valve adjustment on my Daytona 675 (2013), I didn't want to take it to the authorized dealer as its a rip off. Found about this place, called them they were more then happy to help me out with the valve adjustment on my Daytona. Pros: 1) Clean and efficient work. 2) Had no communication issues, they kept me in loop about the progress on my bike. 3) They recommended couple of replacement like air-filter, oil-filter and coolant top-up . 4) Bike wash for free, I have experience with other places where after service you still see the finger marks. 5) Owners are pretty chill people, easy to communicate. And I did get "Friends and Family" discount !!!, probably if you know the people well or a good customer you might get entitled to this as well. Cons: Nothing I noticed as such, will keep an eye out for this on my next visit !

used to wrench myself here when it was moto guild and sarmi moto. But glad these guys do it for me. Did a good job on my Road Star, steering head bearings, fork rebuild, wheel bearings and new tires. exactly what I asked for and decent price. They did it well.

Had a great experience here. I took a class on how to inspect motorcycles which is useful not just for buying a new bike but also having a to periodically examine the safety and condition of your moto. Our instructor, Irene, was super friendly and knowledgeable. They provide you with a checklist to go through and then run through the process on actual bikes in the shop. There's a ton of cool bikes of all shapes and sizes (sport bike, vintage, supermotos - you name it) there so the hands on part of the class is awesome and fun. Very happy with all the knowledge I picked up. Liked the vibe there and will update my review in the future after I bring my bike there for service. In addition to running a full service shop they also will be opening a diy program similar to moto guild. Go check it out!
